Summer Camp Time!

Even though it is February, it is time to start thinking about Summer Camp! We have been very busy these past few weeks planning some great summer fun; and we are happy and excited to present our upcoming summer camp program.

N.M.S.’s summer camp is a great way for your child to have fun while learning in a familiar environment. Our children continue to grow, learn and explore in a comfortable atmosphere, while they meet new friends, get to know the teachers better, and get to know our school routine. The summer camp is a fun-filled program with strong Montessori AND educational overtones. All the children who come have a great time while learning lots of new information!

Since we are at a new location and are busy growing, we decided to add more fun, yet educational programing to our Summer Camp. This year for camp, we will be exploring STEAM!

Science – We will be having fun with chemistry, polymers, and exploration!

Technology – Programing, coding, and fun!

Engineering – What makes a bridge stay up? Why are bridges different? What is a keystone?

Art - Who is Van Gogh? What is Modern Art? What is theater production? Can we put on a play?

Math – 2+2 = 4 but is there more? How does math effect our everyday lives? Cooking is Math?

All of these areas will be touched on throughout our camp with fun lessons, games and projects. All with a fun-filled weekly theme. The weeks are listed below with a general description of what is planned but more fun activities will be added as we get closer to the summer.

This year we will be offering classes geared towards different age levels! We will have an older toddler/ Preschool group, a Primary group and one to two school age groups. All the sessions will be taught at an age and skill appropriate level, this way everyone is learning at a pace meant for them.

As before, we will be offering a few different times, and be offering sibling discounts. We will offer a 9 – 12, and a 9 -3:30 and then extended care for those that need it from 8 – 9 and 3:30 – 5:30. This program is open to all of our Montessori students and their siblings (2 to 13 years old) our incoming families, and if there is room, other children from local Montessori schools.

Our weeks and theme are:

June 18 – 22 – Is it Art or is it Science? BOTH – Come explore a week of Explosive Art! Let’s have fun learning about art, artist and the fun of creating.

June 25 – 29 – Flights of Fancy – This week we will be learning about flight, aerodynamics, and planes! What does it take to fly?

July 9 – 13 – All the World is a Stage! – Let’s learn about the joy of the theater and the fun of a play. Be it a puppet show or a skit, let’s have fun exploring our dramatic sides!
